Have about 10 grand. As of now have a portable with no heater. I do not want to purchase something with thousands of hours not to mention someone elses problems. I have seen the Panther line and Symphony line on the Steambrite.com and a third from Carpet Cleaning Services Supply that has one that uses propane. All of these use Kholer Engines 18Hp. They are all almost identicle. I am told these are simple and cheap as far as maintenance. What does anyone think of these I plan on doing residential as welll as commercial. I am steering towards the propane but I am afraid of the possibility of it blowing up. Can these do the job. Appreciate any input. Help!!

77748 When purchasing a TM and having little past experience, yes this can become a bit of confusion. I know little about the Panther Line but it does appear simplified. As far as propane is concerned, I would not even want to sell this type of unit anymore due to safety reasons as you indicated. If looking at used you will find low hours and exceptional value on our web site especially if paying in American dollars. We really do not like shipping used equipment to far from home. I suggest you do business with a local supplier as you may need him one day. I don't know why I talk myself out of a sale when business is so slow. Maybe this could be the reason. |

The scary thing about all this honesty is? You have been repeating the same line of bull sh** for so long you are starting to believe it yourself. ------------- Just My opinion |

Someone that had a Panther TM said what a piece of junk it was so loud it could wake up dead people. |

| It is junk. Avoid unless you like dealing with lots of problems, IMO. |
